“Love is False” is Gergana Ivanova’s first solo exhibition, exploring the concept of love as both real and false. Through a mixed media art project, Ivanova delves into the complexities of relationships, using recycled computer motherboards and vintage couple photographs.
The computer motherboard symbolizes communication, much like the intricate components of a computer system. It questions whether people meet by chance or if their encounters are predestined. Similarly, the project examines how communication plays a vital role in romantic relationships and influences the authenticity of love.
Vintage couple photographs, sourced from flea markets and antique shops, capture moments when love was perceived as genuine. However, over time, the project questions the authenticity of love and its susceptibility to societal pressure and personal desires.
By juxtaposing computer motherboards and antique couple photographs, the project aims to highlight the dichotomy of love and the fragility of relationships. Ultimately, “Love is False” seeks to provoke reflection and dialogue on the concept of love and its perception. It challenges prejudices about love and encourages discussions on what it truly means to love and be loved.
